CBFAR‚Äôs role in resurrecting the hard-hit church ‚Äď which is not a member of the Fellowship -- began months after the tornado when Charles Ray got a call from the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management. "Could CBF Arkansas help Mt. Pilgrim rebuild?" the agency asked.

‚ÄúSince we work closely with ADEM, it was not unusual for this sort of inquiry,‚ÄĚ Ray, CBFAR‚Äôs special projects coordinator, told ABPnews.

Ray contacted Hayes and quickly learned that while insurance would cover the rebuilding of the structure, it would not provide for furnishings, equipment and appliances.

CBF Responds eventually provided the fixtures for five restrooms and the kitchen. Ray reached out to other faith-based groups to supply kitchen appliances.

The aid continued when Zion Hill Baptist Church, a CBF congregation in Camden, learned that Mt. Pilgrim still needed a sound system for its new building.

Its pastor, Bishop Chester Thompson, donated a complete public address system from a truck used for a children's street ministry. Then another need arose.

‚ÄúOn the way to lunch he said ‚Äėwe don‚Äôt have any speakers‚Äô‚ÄĚ for another part of the building, Thompson said. ‚ÄúThe Lord just kept dealing with me about getting him some speakers.‚ÄĚ
